Construction & site work — Liverpool

Frequently asked questions
What extraction is required for works inside the Royal Liverpool University Hospital?
All construction and maintenance works inside the Royal Liverpool require an ICRA before starting. For Type C and D work in clinical areas — oncology, transplant, haematology — H-Class extraction is mandatory. The MIDI H-Class (MIDIH110 / MIDIH240) with sealed filtration and HEPA-certified disposal bags is the correct specification for LUHNHSFT estates works.
Do principal contractors on the Everton stadium mandate 110V?
Yes — principal contractors on the Bramley-Moore Dock stadium programme mandate 110V CTE for all portable electrical equipment on site. All V-TUF M-Class and H-Class extractors are available in 110V site-safe specification.
Is M-Class or H-Class required on the Liverpool Waters development?
Both, depending on the operation. M-Class is the minimum for general construction dust. H-Class is required for any cutting, grinding or drilling of concrete, brick or masonry throughout the Liverpool Waters commercial and mixed-use programme. Principal contractors on commercial programmes typically mandate H-Class across the site.
